Obviously being in an average sized lounge we needed to use the space available to us effectively and also not having a tripod at the time we got the majority of our filming done wasn't too helpful. Careful planning was taken before hand at school seeing as we had our minds set on a location way before we started filming.
After we had shot all the footage we needed of Barry entering the lounge and taking his coat off we set up the lounge for the rest of our footage which required various lighting from different angles and also camera shots from various angles. For example when the vision first starts we have Barry sat on the sofa, to film this, we had a chair out in the middle of the lounge and put the camera on it. Next to the chair we had our two lights which we pointed up at him. Then we needed two people sat by the lights to obviously turn them on at the time Barry's vision starts so we had to put a lot of thought into the planning stage of our film to make sure that we had enough space to maneuvre whilst we still got a decent shot.
One shot which was difficult to make was the shots of when Barry stands up in a trance over what he can see on the television screen. To achieve this shot we had to make our own tripod pretty much. On top of the window sill we had a vase with a box of tissues on top of it then with the camera ontop of that. It worked very efficiently and was surprising considering it was ontop of our home made tripod not many people would be able to tell the difference and thinking about it, it would of been difficult to achieve that same shot using a tripod as balancing a triangular tripod on a narrow rectangular window sill may of proved difficult. Luckily for us at this point we did not need to worry about turning our lights on because he was already entranced in a vision at this point so we could just place our lights underneath him and on the window sill whilst they were already lit. Obviously for this shot we had to move everything that we used from the previous shot away otherwise it would of been in the shot. So therefore we had to do alot of pushing chairs out the way and pulling them back that day and eventually we ended up with everything hid round the wall in my living room out of shot.
We overcame most the problems we were faced with when it came to our set up and I think that shows with the outcome of our film when we were getting people to watch our film when we were evaluating it no one found any errors or things we didnt mean to have in shots. The bass in the shot at the beginning in the lounge was placed there delibrately as well.
